Champion data for what it's worth rated Gawn at 17.6 v Cameron 10.0. In a head to head contest that's about as comprehensive as it gets. Gawn was excellent (again) against one of the other top level rucks in the comp.

You know... stats are bull . Champion Data has created a trough of rubbish that many feed on.

How someone gets the chocolates in rucking when the opponent wins the outcome.. I.e. the clearance is handed to the opposition never fails to give me a chuckle.

Gawn was very average, hit to opponents advantage and his dreadful disposal is cause for concern

You seem to have completely different standards for different players. It's weird how little you give Gawn credit considering some of the players you give free passes to.

Gawn - great despite errors

Oliver - prolific but wasteful

Petracca - dynamism wasn’t enough

Rivers - has lost momentum

Bowey - another excellent display

Fritsch - had more involvement

May - outstanding all game

Sparrow - a bland performance

Salem - what’s his role?

Pickett - the real wizard

Turner - safe and reliable

Langford - needs a break

Chandler - some minor involvement

Tholstrup - lacked spatial awareness

Melksham - tried against odds

Petty - little to enthuse

Lever - steady under pressure

Van Rooyen - continued doing nothing

McVee - unobtrusive but effective

Howes - held important opponent

Lindsay - needs a rest

Windsor - limited game time

Langdon - unlikely effective tagger

May - Turned back clock

Petty - Playing one-man down

Lindsay - Tried yet limited

Windsor - Back to Casey

Chandler - Continued good season

Rivers - A wasteful accumulator

Pickett - Brought the energy


Hey !!!!!!! We lost by 1 F.....l..lPoint so we are not that far out of it.

The way people are posting you would think we were 105 points down in the first Q and had a side of U14 players C Division @ Sea Lake

It’s the hurt. It hearing that putrid song. That putrid side by side song. It’s sitting on the train and heating their arrogant POS supporters all laughing. It’s turning up to work today and getting the [censored] banter about May & Gawn and the taunts about the Dees off to the snow. It’s not a cocoon. We live in the real world. We just want to beat them. We should have won it. I’m getting sick of saying it. It’s frustrating. That’s why the posters are venting. It’s frustrating. It’s anger. It’s passion. We don’t accept honourable losses. @Demonland

Jefferson's a good example. He's shown nothing at AFL level yet and you keep telling us that he's got it. He's not and never will be a quarter of the player Gawn is.

And I hate to say it... Oliver. I know he's been a brilliant player for us and I've still got a soft spot for him but you never held him accountable for a litany of poor performances that he had last year. If Gawn ever dropped off to the same level that he did you'd be calling for him to go and never come back.

You also started a thread on Brodie Grundy and suggested that he was better than Gawn when literally no one else has that opinion.

Ok I am a Jeffo fan, and he SHOULD have been given a suite of games on the back of good form last year when all was lost in the senior team. This year he has played 3 games

Game 1 Showed promise with 2 goals

Game 2 Broke his hand late first quarter/ early second resulting on a stint on the sidelines

Game 3 Should NEVER have been picked on zero form at Casey but was, terrible player management as I said at the time.

Then dropped and played 3 games at CASEY 2 which have been outstanding, and still not getting a game ( so much for selection integrity)!!

So you can say what you like but your superficial view of football and footballers and in particular LACK OF FACTS must be an embarrassment, to yourself, but go ahead BAG me, and you would know, being similar yourself!

Great effort, I must say! You have your opinion, I have mine, happy to reconvene at the end if his first contract in 2026 then!

This is very fair. Jeffo's recent form at Casey was ahead of JVR's; he should've been recalled ahead of him.

Mopping up the taps to take full advantage isn’t Max’s job - that’s for the mids to be in the right position. They know where they have to be.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
